TOPIC: Laptop as w2k server

I want just to know if it's a good idea to turn my laptop into a server
since i need a windows 2000 serrver as PDC and running DHCP and DNS.
Actually my Laptop config is quiet good :
Dual processors P IV
265 RAM
30GB
GeForce videoi card

my network is small one only 5 users.
the problem is i never see a laptop as server, it's quiet strange for me
to use it as server ! am I right ?
So can laptops be used as Servers: DNS, DHCP,WEB ....
Thanks for all
:wink:

I dont see why one couldnt be, but if a part was to fail in that laptop, bringing the server down, it can be hard to replace. If you had a normal server chassis, you could implement a hotswappable RAID server for redundancy. But then again, you are only serving a tiny network so I don't know if that would ever become a neccessity. IMHO laptops were not made to be servers nor can really operate up to par to one that is designed for the job.
